[QUOTE=oceanbeachsky;130289] lets face it we all want to read the post of the tourist who beat down the Jamaican thief and maybe cut off a finger or 2 of the would be criminal. QUOTE]

uuumm, no, not all of us want to read that. and not all theives in Negril are Jamaican. Personally, I employ a risk management strategy which involves not bringing tempting gadgets, locking doors and windows and sometimes even rigging an alarm system. but as suzen said, when does all this "being on alert" become not worth it anymore? might as well just stay locked up at home.
